Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.
The sadness of the incomplete, the sadness that is often Life, but should never be Art.
When sadness happens in the middle of work, I separate my personal grief from my train of thought.
Many people will have nothing at the end of their working lives.
It is necessary to work, if not from inclination, at least from despair. Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself.
Everyone finds my work super sad. I never do. I always find it uplifting in a weird way.
I'm never more miserable than when I write, and never more happy than having finished and having it sitting in front of me.
Work is the order of the day, just as it was at one time, with our first starts and our best efforts. Do you remember? Therein lies its delight. It brings back the forgotten; one's stores of energy, seemingly exhausted, come back to life.
'It is finished' is the triumphant cry that what I came to do has been done. All is accomplished, completed, fulfilled work.
I never want projects to be finished; I have always believed in unfinished work. I got that from Schubert, you know, the 'Unfinished Symphony.'
